Photos [if anybody is interested]
Thursday
Friday
Saturday
Sunday
Monday
Thanks to Thom Trainer, Anne-Marrie [DRD] of People’s Republic of Venture, Jessica *DoubtingSalmon 
, the Dragon*con staff & and the D*C volunteer squad of awesome, the guy who stalked me with his evil glare [wait, no thanks to him, he was made of awful!] and my amazing friends: Alma Balderas , Marc Ilagan of Venture Bros Blog, Tiffany Sauber, Kate Sullivan, Holly and Marilee of Very Venture Vodcast, and so many more… seriously, you guys are amazing!
Special loving thanks to Doc Hammer 
, for calling me a bastard infront of a 1,000 or so people That was amazing! [this is not sarcastic at all. Seriously, that was sweet.No one else gets to do that though.] –and thank you sir for so much more. You are amazing, always.
[and yeah, there's video of Doc calling me a bastard.. ^_^ at 0:43 note: Triana [my accomplice] is Jessica *DoubtingSalmon
Always thanks to my poor husband, Jim 
, who at conventions puts up with a totally different Chan and always does an amazing job. [-despite him being fired every 2 minutes. ;D He makes a mean "Hawaiian Coffee" though.]
I look forward to returning next year to Dragon*con, and i suggest the same to everybody else. You’ll never get to go to a more amazing convention than this…
With that said, time to move on to my favorite city of all time…
NY-COMIC-CON!!!
New York Comic-con, Oct. 8th-10th. I will be sharing an artist table with my amazingly talented cousin, Lindsay Cibos 
and the illustrative, Maximo V. Lorenzo 
!
I will probably also make appearances over at the Archaia table too!
Rumors are this…there might be advance copies of THE GOD MACHINE graphic novel at this show!!! –I make no promises…But how cool would it be to get my signature, Doc Hammer’s [on his foreword], some of my pin-up artists- Lindsay Cibos, Alex-Eckman Lawn, and a few others to sign their pages all at NYCC? It’d be like a lil scavenger hunt! Actually- that sounds pretty fun!
At any rate, I’ll have prints as usual. Let me know what you’d like to see if you’re coming. I’m probably going to have less Venture Brothers prints at this con, so if you want any of those PLEASE request.
Further information, like table # and any panel info to come later.
Can’t wait to see you guys!
My fellow Orlando people, so far I have one event planed for Oct. 30th at Sci-fi City. I will be signing my book there and getting into the Halloween spirit. Come out and support these guys, and me too!
More to come, I hope!
THE GOD MACHINE is for pre-order. Find out all about where you can get it! [Click Me]
Also, commissions will be opened up soon.. I meant to open them sooner, but I’ve been kinda sick lately and i’m starting on the short FRAGGLE story i’m illustrating… so patience my darlings, patience! 
Til later…

*If you’ve read this before, I have updated lots of little things, like location area and about the quantities of items.
It’s that time again! [just 3 days now]
Time to head back to the mother of all conventions, Dragon*Con!! [Sept 3-6, Atlanta, GA.]
I will be a guest at said lovely event. I will be selling my wares in the Comics & Pop Art Alley. I will be at Table 3 in the Hyatt Regency: Grand Hall East. For location info: full pocket guide see pg 64-65 of the pdf.
I will have my usual prints [including the large over sized 11x17 prints], copies of the 1st issue of The God Machine [*NOTE: I only have like a handful left. Get there on the first day early if you want one, or reserve one], original drawings, the RETURN of the CRAZY CRAYON COMMISSIONS, free stickers and other assorted goodies. I will be taking commissions as well! -I also plan on having an exclusive Dragon*con print for the event as well! [VERY Limited quantities.]
Sadly, I wanted to have Dragon*con to be the debut of THE GOD MACHINE’s Graphic Novel- but it wasn’t possible.

So much to say!
But first- hi guys! I’ve been recovering from the madness that was SDCC! Thanks to all who came out and said hello, and for all of you who got a chance to get the new posters Archaia printed and a copy of The God Machine issue 1.
A few highlights you can see and hear!
INTERVIEW: I talk about The God Machine graphic novel, Fraggles, and Fear of Ghosts [comic] with Cameron Hatheway of Cammy’s Comic Corner. [Also in the beginning of the interview David Rodriguez & Patrick McEvoy talk about their book Starkweather] [*show note- I meant to say "JOSH" Finney and Kat Rocha]
also
Venture Brothers Tweetup Podcast: I was apart of this geekery- and how!
BUT! Now on to more pressing maters!
THE GOD MACHINE GRAPHIC NOVEL VOL. 1 !!!!!
It’s serious time! Seriously!
Break out the Absinthe, dress in your spooky attire, for on Oct. 18-27th- It arrives! [Just in time for HALLOWEEN!]
But first you have to contact your local comic shop[s] (locate your local shop here) to order you a copy, or even order it from AMAZON.com!
This is the time to act! Go to you comic shop, ask them to order you THE GOD MACHINE HC [Previews page 225] The more orders, the better! It let’s Diamond [distributor] know there’s a need for the book, so they’ll let it come back for a 2nd GN! It also let’s Archaia know there’s a demand! This is important! It shows that there’s a want for THE GOD MACHINE volumes in the future!
Don’t have a shop to go to? No problem! Amazon is providing you guys with a very good deal! $13.46 for 160pages of God Machine goodness! [don't mind the listing saying it's 144pages, it's in process of being corrected]
Other places to order from [if you want other options]:
Forbidden Planet £10.34 [huzzah, across the ponders rejoice!]
Things From Another World $15.96
The specs:
*All of the online places have the specs on my book wrong. But trust me when I say, I know it’s 160 pages. I made it that way. (It’s like telling a mother who just gave birth that she didn’t have a baby.) Because it was advertised as 144 pages, that’s what made the price lower originally. On the behalf of others, I’m sorry for any confusion.
So now we’ve got business out of the way, how bout was under that sexy hard cover?
A foreword by Doc Hammer (co-creator of The Venture Brothers), a new colored prologue that was only available as a limited run b&w ash-can, the lush beginning of The God Machine saga, Character bios, 13 pin-ups by fellow Archaia artists and other uberly talented artists!
What’s it about?
“Things have become monotonous. Change will come and wash it all away…”
“Stricken with grief from the death of his girlfriend, Sith, Guy Salvatore struggles to make sense of his world. He’s plagued with hallucinations of monsters that torment him with outrageous requests. He’s unsure if these manifestations are real or are being invented by his own sickened mind.
Enter Satan: a strange old man who shares with Guy a story of two Gods who govern all of existence. According to Satan, the Gods allowed Sith to be removed from her world. Now she is floating aimlessly in and out of dimensional planes known as the “Dream Worlds.” Satan implores Guy to take action and call upon his latent power to break through his world’s plane, search out Sith, and take vengeance upon the vile Gods who caused this atrocity.
Satan’s story promises hope to Guy and raises the possibility of Sith still being alive. Yet, Guy’s doubts linger: Is Satan to be believed? Who are the Gods and why did they allow Sith to be taken? Who is to be trusted? And, ultimately, is Guy slowly going insane?
So, what’s a “Guy” to do?
Join Guy as he begins to unravel the truth, and learn what really happened to Sith – before it’s too late…”
Mature Readers

Chan
